An Epidemiologist Looks at Art

Thomas D. Koepsell, MD, MPH
Professor Emeritus of Epidemiology and Health Services
School of Public Health, University of Washington

Dr. Tom Koepsell, now Professor Emeritus of Epidemiology and Health Services, has been keenly interested in art history for several years. He has served as art cover commentator for Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, a major pediatrics journal. In the course of six art trips to Europe and many visits to art museums in the U.S., he encountered a number of paintings and drawings that revealed connections between the worlds of art and of epidemiology, some of them explicit and others a bit more hidden. This informal seminar will focus on about 8-10 of those works.
